I Can’t Keep Count
I almost didn’t post this because I feel like I’m getting kind of achy breaky hearty in my writing lately. I had a moment of “I should be more … positive, upbeat, happy, candle-lit dinners and walk on the beachy … whatever” but then I thought “no, this is what came out, this is what it…

Sum of Our Moments
We travel these paths, burdened with purpose and prose, in hopes that we’ll not long travel alone. In your eyes I find a spirit, a soul, a beacon that flashes through the darkness of my night. A thousand words I know but not one that can express the way my soul reaches for yours. Are…

Stupid Plane/Traffic in LA/Writer’s Block
There’s stuff in my head, But it’s trapped, Held together By an epic roadblock. Like the traffic in LA, Which I would know about, If I’d gotten on the stupid plane. Wouldn’t you know it, I love flying. I love staring out the window, Watching the world go by. I think flying over the Italian Alps…

Soaked to the Bone
WordPress Daily Prompt – Crescendo It starts with a low buzzing A light humming, Echoing, bouncing, off the bricked walls of my mind. Quickly it grows, a wildfire Clanging and banging along the barred windows of my soul. It can not be freed. It will not be unleashed. But the steady clash grows, a cacophonous…

Amnesia
WordPress Daily Prompt – Grainy I remember the days, Like small grains of sand, In the folds of skin, I feel them before I see them. Like fuzzy photographs Taken in the dark, With subjects on the move, I know we were there but can’t quite make out where. I can feel your memory, Like…
